I presently looking for a book on PSCS2. But not the Tutorial that comes with it. Is there something out there, that has more tips and tweaks. Something on getting your photograph to look exactly the way it should. The OEM book dosen't give you any of the backdoor stuff, that us as photographers use. Please help.

Martin Evening's Adobe Photoshop CS2 for Photographers (external link).

Or Scott Kelby's Photoshop CS2 Book for Digital Photographers (external link) if you're already familiar with Photoshop.

Ditto the above, along with How to Wow PhotoShop for Photography 2nd ed for CS2 by Jack Davis and Ben Willmore.

Both with lots of how-to, without the weight, without trying to teach the program itself, or the menus or palettes. Both recommended for getting jobs done. One good tip out of each book makes more money on a saleable photo to happy customer than the books cost.

Real World Adobe Photoshop CS2 (external link) by Bruce Fraser and David Blatner was finally released a couple weeks ago. If you're a beginner, this might not be the best choice, though.

Also, be sure to watch the Deke McClelland training video on the second CD that came with your CS2 package. He runs through a number of cool photo-editing tools on that one, and highlights the things that are new in CS2.

I was impressed enough to buy the Total Training DVD set.
